Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL]

It would be a pity if the Government did not maintain their ability to change and modernise things and dissolve bodies to do with better regulation. After all, we had the Better Regulation Task Force and we are losing the Better Regulation Commission into another body, as was announced on 16 January. The Better Regulation Executive is a powerful body within the department and I can visualise a time when that body will take over nearly all the role of a national better regulation body called the LBRO. I do not see any reason to quarrel with the Government’s wish for this body to have a limited life and then disappear. It would be entirely in accordance with policy.
